Long Fin Killie - Valentino

Valentino is Long Fin Killie's second album from 1996. I think this is their best, it's more tight than the debut, the guitars are louder, the lyrics are sharper. They toured with Throwing Muses after the release. Below my 5 favourite songs from Valentino. The single 'Hands And Lips' is really really good.

Long Fin Killie - Houdini

I'm listening a lot to LFK this week. When I bought Houdini I had only heard the singles 'Hollywood Gem' and 'The Heads Of Dead Surfers' and I it took me a while before I was hooked. The lyrics are very good and stuck in my head first: Houdini popped up out of the blue, she caught me on a saturday, she said - 'I'm looking for a sensitive intelligent man, but all those guys have boyfriends. So you'll have to do for now'.

Long Fin Killie - Rhino 7" + Vanilla 7"

These two limited 7" singles were released in the U.S. by Too Pure in 1995 to promote Houdini. 'Rhino' and 'Vanilla' are exclusive to this release with album tracks 'Love Smothers Allergy' and 'Homo Erectus' as b-sides. They're never released on cd but you can still buy the vinyl in this shop.
